CARSON LAKE, May 81, 1887.

EDIDoR TINES Dear Sir: As Car
son Lake is still on the top side of
the earth, and "right side up, with
care" and for fear it might sink in
obscurity, ! want the readers of the
TINES to know that we are yet in
the land of the living.
With our Lake iull of fish and
turtles, we will try and keep alive
until the coons get ripe, after which
we'll try and worry through until
the next presidential campaign.
But if it don't rain pretty soon
we fear the fish will die out and the
turtles will crawl away after night;
but as long as the moon shines we
can capture them as they travel to-
wards the river, and | think it would
be good idea to go to work and
bottle up a lot of moonshine to use
cloudy night. What do you think
Of this idea, Mr.. Editor?
Mr.. d. r. Pittman went out with
his shotgun last Saturday, the 2S,h,
and found three bee-trees; it was
little cloudy, and he was not hunt
ing bees; he was hunting for some
thing to shoot that was not protect
ed by the game law. He says
he will go bee hunting some day
when the sky is clear aud bright.
There is some talk of gin and
saw-mill being put up on the upper
end OF Carson Lake soon, but ! shant
call the gentleman's name who is
mentioned in this connection.
Capt. E. NJ Ayres, of your place,
speaks Of putting up a sawmill out
back from the old Alvis place, on
] ,wer end of the lake.
In view of the fact that the fish,
turtles and bee trees are here in
great numbers, and that the gin and
saw mills may also be established
and become realities, it may be that
Carson Lake is on the eve of boom,
and if such should prove to be the
case, can assure you the Carson
Lakers will not get the big head
and attempt to either set the lake
on fire or knock its bottom out.
Yours respectfully,
G. L. WILLIAM.

THE Pope AND FATHER MCGLYNN.

The Pope AND FATHER McGLYNN
Tho Pope has spoken in plail
terms as to the recusancy of Father
McGlynn, and, as every intelligent
person expected, stands by the Arch
bishop of New York. Less thar
this he could not do. The Church
of Rome prides itself upon the en-.
forcement of its discipline. This is
its strength, as it is the strength OF
any organization. Relaxing in the
least degree from its intiexible rule
it would open Pandora box, out OF
which would come untold evils and
misch;efs. Archbishop Corrigan is
an officer in great army, organized
for great work, and commissioned.
as all Catholics believe, by God
Himself, The Pope, the Vice -gerent
of Christ is infallible IN matters OF
faith, and is to be implicitly obeyed.
He is the chief, From him there Is
no appeal. To him all complaints
60 through tho Propaganda, and his
decision is final. He sustains the
Archbishop, whom be sees is dealing
with troublesome priest, who sets
up what he regards as pestiferous
doctrine, and is disposed to put his
own diota against that of the church.
Neither Luther nor Calvin were per-
mitted to do that. The right of
private judgement may be enjoyed
outside, but not inside of the church.
No church will permit private judg-
ment to its members when it con-
flicts with its faith or discipline. So
Father McGiyun will have to yield
or like Luther set up for himself
The way is plain to him. II be re-
mains Catholic he mus. yield obc-
dieutly and become like q little
chiid.--[Memphis Appeal.

While the queen has extended her elem
ency to dsserters and biackguartls In ordel
TO mark her jubilee, the well behaved sol
der will only remember that event by
extra hard work, poorer rations and al
enforced contribution. On Jubilee Day
for instance, there was n grand review OF
Southsea Common. The troops were be
tween four and five hours in the blazing
sun, and on returning to the barracks the
mounted men spent the afternoon in the
stables. All the troops in garrison instead
of enjoying special allowances were served
with timed preserved or bully" beef
which is not particularly palatable, and ir
the same way the queens birthday after
a trying review was signaliZed. This
treatment of the good and steady men
presents a striking contrast to the queens
pardon and free kit to the worthless fel
lows who desert from one REGIMENT to an
other, and it has caused much bad feeling
among the troOps.-Pall Mall Gazette.

twelve or fourteen feet square and six OF

roof stretches over all these pits, each Of
which is fenced OIL separately above the
water, and thus converted into an excel

There is wooden floor at the entrance
with sufficient furniture, and flight of
steps cut into the rock, by which you de
scend TO the bath. The sea flows in and
out necessarily through the aperture, the

rugged; the crabs are crawling in your

is fifteen feet above the water. In very

Extracting the Public's Nickel.

The nickel demanding weighing or gift
or mechanical wonder machines multiply
in the bar rooms and public places until it
would seem that inventive ingenuity TO
extract the nickel from the curious public
had been exhausted. The mechanical
wonders are costly toys. requiring each
the outlay Of several hundred dollars, and
the machines are taken from one place to
another as soon as the novelty ceases to
attract. They are generally owned by the
enterprising mechanic who constructs
them, and yield him handsome profit
after the first cost has been paid. The
other machines are manufactured by the
wholesale, and are owned by corporations.
At first the proprietOrs Of the places
where they are exhibited considered them
attractioHs and granted permission for
their exhibition, but since they have
proved SO remunerntive a percentage Of
the receipts is demanded for the right Of
exhibition. York Times

Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer . question Of doubt-al-
though the contrary was once believed
that medicines which produce violent effects
are unsuited TO other than desperate emer-
gencies. In other words that super potent
remedies are calculated 70 weaken and in
jure the system rather than reform its
irregularities. Among medicines Of debil-
itating effect are cathartics and cholagOgues
which copiously and abruptly evscuats the
bowels. Because it does not do this, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is preferable 70 the
drenching class of purgatives. Painless
in its effects. II is sufficiently active to REM
edy chronic constipation. 1t relieves by
lnyigorating the intestines, and enables. not
forces. them to perform the duty imposed
upon them by nature. Promoting the Sc
cretiOn Of bile in normal quantities by its
BEAUTIFULLY stimulating effect upon the
liver, it is eminently conducive to digestion,
and contributes in no small degree 10 keep
the bowels regular.
